Shhh! It's Top Secret

For years the owners of Serendipity refused to reveal the recipe for their famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. Even Jackie Kennedy could not get it so that it could be served at a White House gala. Finally, for their 50th anniversary as a thank you to their loyal customers they shared the secret! I have the recipe for this luscious treat in a cookbook that I bought while in NYC called Sweet Serendipity. Here it is:

Frrrozen Hot Chocolate6 half-ounce pieces of a variety of your favorite chocolates2 teaspoons storebought hot chocolate mix1 1/2 tablespoons sugar1 1/2 cups milk3 cups icewhipped cream Chocolate shavings-Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Add the hot chocolate mix and sugar, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and slowly add 1/2 cup of the milk and stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.-In a blender place the remaining cup of milk, the room temperature chocolate mixture, and the ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and the consistency of a frozen daiquiri. Pour into a giant goblet and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings Enjoy with a spoon or a straw-or both!
